The process involved in the specification of cell identity in the posterior compartments of the segmented embryo. A homeostatic process involved in the maintenance of a compartment boundary. A compartment boundary is a lineage restriction boundary within a developing tissue which does not correspond to some morphological barrier. The regionalization process by which embryonic segments are divided into compartments that will result in differences in cell differentiation. Formation of a lineage restriction boundary within a developing tissue which does not correspond to some morphological barrier. The process giving rise to specification of cell identity in the anterior compartments of the segmented embryo. The pattern specification process by which an axis or axes is subdivided in space to define an area or volume in which specific patterns of cell differentiation will take place or in which cells interpret a specific environment. The regionalization process by which specific areas of cell differentiation are determined along the anterior-posterior axis. The anterior-posterior axis is defined by a line that runs from the head or mouth of an organism to the tail or opposite end of the organism.
